Stanford Health Care Alliance (SHCA) Plan (Aetna)

The Stanford Health Care Alliance (SHCA) Plan makes it easy for you to receive care when you need it. You can use providers and facilities within our own network – which includes Stanford Health Care (includes Stanford Hospital and Clinics, University Healthcare Alliance and Affinity), Stanford Children's Health (includes Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford and Packard Children's Health Alliance), and Stanford Health Care - ValleyCare – allowing you to receive the highest quality care possible at an affordable cost, while also supporting our organization.

In the SHCA Plan, you must use the physicians within the SHCA network. Your Primary Care Physician (PCP) can help you coordinate all of your care throughout the SHCA network. Designating a PCP is not required, but it's always good to have a single point of contact to help you coordinate your care within the SHCA.

When you see an in-network provider, there are no claims to file. If you go to a doctor outside of the SHCA network, and are not referred by a treating physician or pre-authorized through SHCA, you pay the full cost. For detailed information on in-network and out-of-network facilities, or to select a PCP, please call your Member Care Specialist at 855.345.SHCA (7422).
